2: My classmate's mom came to keep me warm! (Please read)

Lu Zheng couldn't take his eyes off her.

Ding! Lucky Goddess detected, scanning now.

Name: Wen Miaojun

Age: Thirty-six years old

Experience: She endured hardships in childhood but maintained her gentleness and innocence; she strived to be a good mother but forgot that she was also a girl who needed protection; she had been single for over a decade, dedicating all her energy to her child; although time had not left marks on her appearance, her heart was already full of scars.

Conclusion: Innocent and beautiful, graceful figure, kind and lovely, gentle and considerate; 93 points, meets requirements.

Wen Miaojun finally got through on the phone.

Just as she was about to speak, Qu Hao's angry voice came from the other end.

"I'm talking to Shu Ya right now, why do you keep calling and calling? Don't bother me!"

With that, the call ended.

Wen Miaojun was stunned for a moment, then could only carefully send Qu Hao a message.

"Haohao, it's snowing heavily outside, wear more clothes, Mom is waiting for you at home."

The message was sent, but there was no reply for a long time.

Lost in thought, Wen Miaojun walked into the room, completely oblivious to Lu Zheng, who had been watching her from the nearby balcony for a long time.

Only after she entered the room did Lu Zheng come back to his senses.

"So Aunt Wen is my Lucky Goddess, I must protect her well."

Back in his room, he sat on the sofa and picked up his phone to check the news online.

It had been almost an hour since the anomaly, and various messages were flooding in.

This was a global catastrophe; even the sea was experiencing heavy snowfall.

The snow depth was continuously increasing, and according to expert estimates, if the snowfall rate remained constant, the snow depth could reach over two meters in one day and night.

This time, the experts were quite reliable.

The heavy snow fell for three days and three nights, reaching a depth of ten meters, submerging three-story buildings.

The temperature dropped to minus forty degrees Celsius and was still falling, but the rate of decrease was much slower than before.

The snow had not stopped, it had just become much lighter.

Today was the fourth day of the apocalypse, and Lu Zheng began his daily card draw.

Congratulations, you have received one Skill Card.

Skill: Detection Art

Type: Skill Card

Effect: Releases a Detection spherical wave, scanning within a hundred-meter radius from oneself, obtaining a holographic Clairvoyance image of the area.

Durability: 100 / 100

It was a new card type!

Over the past three days, Lu Zheng had only received Supply Cards.

These were ten thousand boxes of mineral water, ten thousand viper pistols, and ten thousand commercial energy storage cabinets.

The pistols gave him a great sense of security.

After all, in a natural disaster apocalypse, order would quickly collapse.

Without the power to protect himself, having only supplies would inevitably lead to being plundered.

Now, with ten thousand fully loaded pistols, his heart felt very secure.

The commercial energy storage cabinet was a large battery.

Typically, the electricity stored in one energy storage cabinet was enough for an ordinary household's monthly consumption.

Even with the current freezing temperatures and high electricity consumption to maintain warmth, one cabinet could last Lu Zheng for at least half a month.

This meant only twenty-four storage cabinets would be consumed in a year, and ten thousand units would be enough for him for over four hundred years!

Last night, the power in the residential complex went out, plunging all residents into panic, and many people in the owner's group cursed and bombarded the property management.

Outside, it was over forty degrees below zero, and even with electricity, the air conditioner compressors could no longer function properly.

Indoor temperatures dropped to minus thirty degrees Celsius or even lower.

People could only use electric blankets or other heating methods to keep warm.

Now, without electricity, many people lost their ability to heat themselves.

But the temperature continued to drop, and some experts predicted that in ten days at most, the outdoor temperature could drop to minus one hundred degrees Celsius.

Ordinary down jackets can only withstand low temperatures of minus ten to minus thirty degrees Celsius; at minus one hundred degrees Celsius, the human body would rapidly lose heat, becoming fatal within minutes!

People could only huddle under blankets, burning some items inside their homes and staying close to the flames to keep warm.

However, there wasn't much flammable material inside the buildings, and if there was no solution, over eighty percent of people might not survive today.

Lu Zheng was currently sitting on an electric heating pad, holding a hot electric hand warmer, and blowing hot air with an electric heater to maintain his body temperature.

Suddenly, he noticed a message pushed to his phone.

Attention all citizens: There is a type of black fruit in the snow; eating it can significantly increase resistance to severe cold and grant superpowers.

There's always a way out.

As the saying goes, for every poison, there is an antidote within five steps!

At such ultra-low temperatures, without any resistance, all life on this planet would perish.

However, such extreme environmental changes would surely bring forth things capable of resisting the changes.

The black fruit was the key.

But now, many people couldn't even move, and going to get the black fruit might mean freezing to death just by going downstairs.

Nevertheless, only by taking a gamble was there a chance to survive!

Lu Zheng planned to go after breakfast.

He lived on the seventh floor; now that the heavy snow had submerged the bottom three floors, theoretically, he only needed to reach the fourth floor to dig through the snow via the connecting corridor.

Although he had plenty of electricity and wouldn't freeze to death.

But the black fruit could grant abilities, and Lu Zheng was very concerned about enhancing his own strength.

As an orphan, he was often bullied as a child because of his frail physique.

Now, through consistent exercise, he had a six-pack, and his own strength gave him a sense of security.

If others possessed abilities and he didn't, he would feel insecure!

He wasn't the type to sit back and wait for death.

It was best to acquire the ability-granting fruit as soon as possible, while the temperature hadn't dropped to an unbearable level.

But as he was eating his steaming instant noodles, he heard a knock at the door.

Walking to the door, he heard a weak voice.

"Lu Zheng, are you home?"

Through the peephole, Lu Zheng saw a person wrapped very tightly.

But just from the pair of tender, watery eyes revealed by the other party, he judged that this person was his good neighbor, his landlady, his classmate's mother, Wen Miaojun.

"I'm home, Auntie, is something the matter?"

Upon hearing Lu Zheng's voice, Wen Miaojun's voice became joyful.

"That's great, A Zheng, I'm so cold."

"I have nothing left to burn at home, do you still have a way to keep warm there?"

"Can I warm up here?"

Lu Zheng had already been wondering how to get Wen Miaojun to come to him, and now that she had come to his door, he certainly couldn't turn her away.

He first made sure there was no one else behind Wen Miaojun, then opened the door and grabbed Wen Miaojun's arm.

"Auntie, come in quickly."

The warmth emanating from Lu Zheng made Wen Miaojun instinctively lean closer to him.

Upon entering the house, she was directly pulled by Lu Zheng into the bedroom.

In the bedroom, the electric heater and electric blanket were generating heat, and the temperature was noticeably much higher than in the living room outside.

"Auntie, quickly take off your shoes and pants and get into the quilt; there's an electric blanket underneath, it's very warm."

Saying this, he immediately reached out to help.

By the time Wen Miaojun reacted, she had already been stripped of her down jacket by Lu Zheng and tucked into the quilt.

A pair of small hands, as smooth and tender as a young girl's, were held in Lu Zheng's palms.

"Auntie, your hands are so cold! I'll warm them for you."
